Today is Marlène's birthday. I made this card for my hobby pal. The background is made with chalk and after that I stamped the images on it. I removed the chalk where the lady is stamped with an eraser to highlight it. Take a perle pen, white and black fineliner and ribbon to finish it off.

My niece Ilse (11 yrs) likes to visit me to do some crafting. I saw some really cute bookmarkers at Carocards, those would be perfect for her. So we started with design papers, an old dictionary from the 2nd hand fair, stamps and tassels. Time went by so fast!

Autumn
The rain is pooring down all day and the leaves of our wallnut tree are spread all over our garden. Time to make a tag in Autumn shades! I coloured the background with chalk. This brown was not so bright so I decided to put another layer on top with distress ink (push the inkpads softly on your craft sheet, spray glimmermist on top and rub the tag in the ink). Use a template to make the diamond pattern and stamp the corn flowers. I stamped the butterflies on a piece of paper out of an old dictionary...
